Rockleigh is a meticulously managed property encompassing 587.79 hectares (1,452 acres) in the fertile Combaning district of the Temora Shire. Zoned RU1 for primary production, this expansive property is strategically located 21 km southeast of Temora, 36 km west of Stockinbingal, 40 km north of Junee, and 70 km north of the major regional center, Wagga Wagga. Temora is renowned for its thriving agricultural industry, with ideal conditions for cropping, lamb, wool, and beef production, supported by a world-class agricultural research facility.
Currently operating as a mixed farming enterprise, Rockleigh boasts a diverse array of crops for 2024, including 80 hectares of canola, 90 hectares of Lancer wheat, 40 hectares of Latrobe barley, 35 hectares of Illabo wheat, and 35 hectares of vetch. The property also supports Lucerne, medic, and clover pastures, which sustain its wool and prime lamb operations. Fertile soils have been carefully managed, with crops sown using MAP and finished with urea. Lime and gypsum applications are tailored to paddock needs within the cropping/pasture rotation cycle. The property is well-fenced into 17 paddocks with laneways that facilitate easy movement of livestock and machinery. The land is predominantly open and arable, with light timbering and established tree plantings along watercourses and fencelines.
Water security is a key feature of Rockleigh, with a Goldenfields mains water connection and a 110,000-litre tank that gravity feeds stock troughs via a 63mm line. Local watercourses traverse the property, filling 14 catchment dams that drain to the southeast. In addition, 14 troughs and multiple rainwater tanks with a combined storage capacity of approximately 170,000 litres ensure ample water supply in this 535mm annual rainfall district.
The property's infrastructure is in excellent condition, including a raised four-stand shearing shed with new Atlas sheep yards (featuring a bugle design, undercover weighing race, double working race, etc.), and a small set of steel cattle yards. For machinery, there are two high-clearance steel sheds with power connected, as well as an older storage shed suitable for vehicles. Grain storage is well-provisioned with six self-emptying grain silos (approximately 375-ton capacity), a 40-ton Kotzur fertilizer silo, and four Cleverdons seed silos.
The comfortable three-bedroom home features one bathroom, a kitchen equipped with gas and electric cooking, a walk-in pantry, heating, cooling, and an undercover outdoor entertaining area. Connectivity is secured with Starlink internet. The home is supplied by two 22,500-litre rainwater tanks, supplemented by 45,000 litres of rainwater collected from the woolshed, while the garden is watered from a large dam in the house paddock.
This is a rare opportunity to expand your farming operations or establish a foothold in the highly regarded Temora district.
